The dbt Cloud IDE and dbt Cloud CLI now automatically installs `dbt deps` when your environment starts or when necessary. Previously, it would prompt you to run `dbt deps` during initialization. However, you still need to run `dbt deps` if you modify your `packages.yml` or `dependencies.yml` file.

The "when necessary" here is a little vague, especially within the context of the next live they says they still need to run it manually in two scenarios that seem "necessary". Can we clarify that a little (or remove if it's not needed)?

Thank you so much @matthewshaver ! I don't think it's a blocker for this release but would be good to get some context (I can't clearly remember the why it says 'when necessary') @greg-mckeon or @dave-connors-3 do you have addl info on what the 'when necessary' means for automatic dbt deps installation on the backend? I know sometimes dbt asks you to run deps so maybe it's those scenarios?


This improved workflow is available to all multi-tenant dbt Cloud users (Single-tenant support coming next week) and applies to dbt versions.
